Storm Guard Roofing & Building are trusted local roofers serving Brechin and the wider Angus area. Brechin is a small cathedral city with a rich history — home to Brechin Cathedral and one of only two remaining Round Towers of its kind in Scotland. It sits on the River South Esk, and like much of inland Angus, its streets are lined with traditional red sandstone and stone-built properties, most of them carrying natural slate roofs that have stood for generations.
Working on these older buildings requires care and experience. The materials, the construction methods and the detailing around chimney stacks, valleys and verges are all quite different from modern housing — and getting them wrong can lead to damp, structural damage and costly repairs down the line. Storm Guard has the experience to do the job properly, first time.
Brechin's red sandstone and stone-built homes are some of the most characterful properties in Angus — but they need the right materials and techniques to keep them weathertight. Natural slate roofs require like-for-like replacements where possible, and any repointing should use breathable lime mortar rather than modern cement, which can trap moisture and cause long-term damage to older stonework. We understand the difference, and we work accordingly.
Whether it's a ridge that needs resealing, a chimney stack that has worked loose, or leadwork around a dormer that has started to lift, we assess the work carefully and recommend only what is genuinely needed. Our aim is always to extend the life of the roof, not to sell you more than you require.
Inland Angus can be caught by some fierce weather — wind and driving rain are common, and when a storm passes through, slates can slip, ridge tiles can shift and flashing can start to lift. If your roof has taken damage, don't leave it to worsen. Water ingress is the biggest enemy of any traditional stone property, and a small leak left unchecked can quickly become a much bigger problem.
We prioritise emergency call-outs across Brechin and the surrounding Angus towns. Our aim is to get to you quickly, make the roof safe and watertight, and give you an honest assessment of any further work needed. Call 07479 508148 if you need us urgently.
